jamboinglasgow Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 2 minutes ago, BackOfTheNet said: Good point, looking at the game he last scored (no.19 in the video) he seems to be a left winger cutting inside. When having Ginnelly already (and GMS, Walker and Roberts that can all play there) you wonder if it is true what the plans are. I still see us playing with a 3 behind a striker, so have a 3 of McKay, GMS, Ginnelly behind. Those three can also play in all the those 3 positions.

It is also a formation that I think is challenging for McEneff if he is considered a deeper lying midfielder with four attacking players in front of him, rather than being one of those 3 supporting the striker. But as I say, it is definitely a style of player Neilson seems to like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movement up front never giving defenders a minute by interchanging with each other dropping deep then latching onto a through ball. Let’s hope this seasons Hearts team can ruffle a few feathers and score plenty of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have proof and I'm not looking it up but the financial figures confirmed average player wages of something like £2.2k p/W with some on much less and the top earners easily on about double that. Its quite widely known that CB was one of our highest earners, and quite rightly so as our captain and as the player he was when he signed that contract. SN and CG making up the top three.

R1874 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 McKay could be decent signing. Good age as well Boyce, Nando, Gino, GMS, McKay, Hendo, Walker Let Roberts go. Loan out Pollock.

People saw his move from Forest to Swansea as a promising one, but he actually was sold for less than Forest paid Rangers for him reportedly. Had one regular season at Swansea then out of favour, spent last two seasons on loan at Joey Barton’s Fleetwood so not great. Think it’s a name that may provide mixed whelms for some.

LarrysRightFoot Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 No idea if there’s anything in the Barrie McKay rumours but my memories of him are - very talented but no heart. We’ve had too many of them over the years. If we sign him hopefully he proves me wrong. I remember him being very similar to Sam Nicholson in terms of playing style.

5jambo1 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 From what I remember of him he was direct and had pace. One of those players who could potentially make something happen out of nothing with his pace and ability to go by a man. We need more of this type of player so would be decent signing in my eyes. Maybe be a bit hot and cold but if we are being realistic this is the type of player we will be signing. If he produced week in, week out for Swansea or Forrest he would stay in the champ or get a bigger move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of contradicts the people who say we can't develop players and question why decent players would come to us to further their careers. I'd love to sign him I just think it would be a very large coup to get a young player in the international setup from an EPL first team squad. For me, some players are happy to take a step sideways (not backwards) temporarily to get game time. Dunne could've easily been offered a three year contract with a view to selling him on for a profit a couple of years or so down the line. As for Dunne himself...he knows the club, loved his time here and even said he hoped he'd play for Hearts again sometime. Berra's gone, we are desperate for a replacement on the left of defence, he's 23 (the age category Neilson said he was looking for), he's decent in the air defensively and offensively, doesn't get pushed around physically by the likes of the Aberdeen hammer throwers and to top that off...he has the choice of Ireland or Northern Ireland. Having the likes of Smith, Boyce and McEneff at the club could (or should) be a sweetner as well. Getting Dunne now could be the only time in his career we would be able to afford him. Next time will be when he's 33 and looking to finish his career somewhere. Hearts would be mad to not even talk to him about signing. If they have then fair play, even if he turned us down at least he was asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
